A trial was conducted in 2008/09 at Chitedze (31o 59' S; 33o 38' E) and Chitala (13o 40' S; 34o 15' E) Research stations in Malawi to evaluate commercially available pre-emergent herbicides for weed control in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Four herbicides, Bullet (chloroacetanilide, dimetha...

Cassava roots, a major food in Africa, contain cyanogenic glucosides that may cause toxic effects. Malawian women farmers considered fields of seemingly similar cassava plants to be mixes of both ‘cool’ and ‘bitter’ cultivars. They regard roots from ‘cool’ cultivars as non-toxic. Roots of ‘bitter...

Cassava is an important food and cash crop in Malawi. It is also becoming increasingly important for industrial use. The aim of this study was to investigate the native starch quality of different Malawi cassava genotypes. Trials were conducted at Chitedze and Makoka in Malawi in the 2000/01 seas...

Cassava in Malawi is the second most important staple food crop after maize. This paper assesses the impact of agricultural research for development approach in Malawi on cassava yields, per capita area planted to cassava and household calorie intake from cassava and maize. Given the growing inte...
